Now, if they actually did a full reboot a la the Ultimate universe (before it sucked), now that would be interesting and ballsy.

Well with Bleeding Cool reporting these "Conformations" I am half tempted to accept them. BC isn't exactly #1 in reliable news more often than not. However we now need to consider, if this is true, What changes DC will bring out of Flashpoint. Its entirely possible characters as we know them will be changed heavily. Its also possible that some characters will no longer exist. (Yes I stole that line from one of the bleeding cool articles) So now the guessing game begins. What will Dc's post Flashpoint Who's Who look like.

Its moves like this why we don't have a DC Who's Who. Be thankful of the people who update the dc wikia.

New from Bleeding Cool

Flashpost: Deadman To Star In Adventure Comics #1

In September, along with everything else, Bleeding Cool has been told to expect a new Adventure Comics #1. And a new lead, namely the recent star of Brightest Day, Deadman. Alive, dead, somewhere in between, a new status quo for Boston Brand or something very different, I have no idea. Yet. Though I’m hearing of Ryan Sook involvement in some fashion…

More about what happens after Flashpoint to come.

OK We have Official Conformation about the new #1's From the USAToday.com site

DC Comics has a new strategy to be No. 1 in comic books: all-new No. 1s. Starting this summer, the publisher will re-number its entire DC Universe of titles, revamping famous characters such as Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and others from its 76-year history for a more modern and diverse 21st century.
The first book to be released under this new era: Justice League No. 1, out Aug. 31, a series by writer Geoff Johns and artist Jim Lee that reunites the famous lineup of Batman, Superman, Green Lantern, The Flash, Wonder Woman and Aquaman.
Johns promises a focus on the interpersonal relationships within DC's trademark superteam. "What's the human aspect behind all these costumes?" he says. "That's what I wanted to explore."
In September, more than 50 more first issues will debut, introducing readers to stories that are grounded in each character's specific legend but also reflect today's real-world themes and events. Lee spearheaded the redesign of more than 50 costumes to make characters more identifiable and accessible to comic fans new and old.

We looked at what was going on in the marketplace and felt we really want to inject new life in our characters and line," says Dan DiDio, who co-publishes DC with Lee. "This was a chance to start, not at the beginning, but at a point where our characters are younger and the stories are being told for today's audience."
In an even more important move in the competitive comics industry, DC is making issues of all the renumbered titles available digitally via apps and a DC website the same day they arrive in comic shops. It marks the first time a major comics publisher has done so with its popular superhero titles.
The company has come in second to Marvel every year since 2002 in market share, according to Diamond Comic Distributors.
While the two companies are making millions off movie adaptations of their comic books, print sales for both have dropped in recent years, as new technology gives readers many more options.

"We're allowing people who have never bought a comic book in their lives to download them on portable media devices and take a look," Lee says. "Having the ability to give people access to these comics with one button click means we're going to get a lot of new readers."
He says what makes this plan so ambitious is that it's not just about changes in characters or costumes but setting the stage for how comic books will be consumed in the future.
"We're trying to set the table for the DC Universe's future success and health."

I'm actually REALLY surprised they didn't go that route considering thats what Flashpoint seems to be doing.

I'll wait to see what really happens with my favorite titles and creators before I enter full on panic mode, but as of right now I just don't know how to feel. I can't be mad at a bunch of new #1 issues, especially if they showcase a BUNCH of characters that don't normally get spotlighted, and I definitely can't be mad at them all being available digitally that same day.

But on the other fucking hand...

"a point where our characters are younger and the stories are being told for today's audience."

that quote pisses me the fuck off. It screams "Fuck you long term reader, and fuck all the character development we've had over 75 years. Oh and fuck your favorite legacy character too because we're moving away from all that shit....BITCH!"
